Very neat piece. Note inside reads : This Match Box was picked up from the SS Mohegan which had wrecked on the Manacles Rock October 14th 1898, with a loss of 109 lives. The inside of the lid is painted with a scene of the sunk ship. 1 3/4" by 1 1/4" by 1/2". The SS Mohegan was a steamer which sank off the coast of the Lizard Peninsula, Cornwall, on her second voyage. She hit The Manacles on 14 October 1898 with the loss of 106 out of 197 on board.
